After a breast augmentation, it takes time for the breasts to fully heal and settle into their final position. While initial results can be seen soon after the procedure, it typically takes several months for the swelling to subside, the implants to settle, and for you to appreciate the final outcome of your breast augmentation. Your surgeon will monitor your progress during post-operative visits and guide you through the healing process, ensuring that you achieve the best possible long-term results.

Can a breast augmentation correct inverted nipples?
Breast augmentation alone may not directly correct inverted nipples, as it primarily focuses on enhancing breast size and shape. However, during a breast augmentation procedure, your surgeon can discuss additional techniques, such as releasing tight bands or using specialized sutures, to address inverted nipples simultaneously. By discussing your concerns and desired outcomes with your surgeon, they can develop a comprehensive treatment plan that combines breast augmentation with appropriate techniques to improve the appearance of inverted nipples, providing you with a personalized solution that meets your aesthetic goals.

Will I need to stay overnight at the hospital after a breast augmentation?

During your consultation, your surgeon will assess your individual case and discuss the most suitable options to address your specific concerns and goals.
